Default Short Cycle

KK - If you can, try consulting a naturopath about your short cycle. I honestly believe you can successfully address this. You need at least 11 days from day of ovulation to create a good enough environment to support implantation (ie the build up of a nice thick endometrium that stays that way through to the 12th week), and on a 22 day cycle, you're not getting that.

I've said in the past that Vitex can address this. Many people worry about taking Vitex, and if that's the case, I say do it under the supervision of a naturopath. It has an immediate and positive effect on the production of hormones. With everything in balance you should get a better cycle length than 22 days. In my opinion the liquid form of Vitex is the best, and you can really only get this from a naturopath. Yes there are tablets, Blackmores Vitex, which only cost $12.00 a bottle. I'm all for them. But as I said, the naturopath is great for this kind of thing.

Re your Day 21 Prog - 53 is an excellent result and tells me that there was either fertilisation or that two follicles popped. Yay! Well done!

Have you had your end of cycle BT? We all want to hear the results of that! Or... has the cycle not ended???
